Location, location, location. This completely updated apartment is a short walk from the train station even with luggage and everything else you want to see in Florence. It is also convenient to catch various buses at the Train station to other parts of the city like we did to Piazzale Michelangelo and Boboli gardens. Apartment is just as it looks in all the photos, modern and spacious with great natural light. Best of all, it is just around the corner from the famous Mercato Centrale, which has everything you could possibly want fresh to cook in your fully equipped kitchen plus plenty of food already made to either be consumed there or bring home with you for later. There is also a smaller Conad nearby for when the Mercato Centrale is closed. Being so near Mercato Centrale is a huge plus. Don't miss it! Apartment is in a busy, touristy area so if solace and quiet is what you seek then this place is not for you, (although it was surprisingly quiet in the apartment with the windows closed) but if you want to walk just minutes to the Duomo and the other main attractions this apartment is perfect. The host is gracious and friendly. To get away from the crowds head towards Piazza Santa Maria Novella and it's a short walk to the Arno river at Ponte Alla Carraia, a great spot to watch the sunset on Ponte Vecchio. Across Ponte Alla Carraia, look for Trattoria Angiolino recommended in the apartment guest book and a fantastic authentic Tuscan dining experience. Plan to spend a couple of hours and tell Alessandro Judi sent you! Thank you Mariangela! It was a pleasure to stay here.
